Chapter 55 School and Records
September 1st is the first day of school again, and the school is very lively with people coming and going.
Wang Zheng arrived at the classroom and was very happy to see his classmates whom he had not seen for a long time.
This year is my senior year in high school, my last year, and I feel somewhat reluctant to leave you all.
But now that school has just started, the atmosphere has not yet set off.
After Wang Zheng put down his schoolbag, he arrived at Sister Mi's class. Sister Mi had already arrived and was chatting with some female classmates.
When I saw Wang Zheng, I came to Wang Zheng amidst the cheers of several classmates.
Sister Mi didn't have any shy thoughts, she went directly to Wang Zheng, said a few words and then went back.
Wang Zheng didn't take it seriously. Let alone Sister Mi, he just talked to any female classmate. Even if he handed in his homework, someone would make fun of him.
Wang Zheng has almost grown out now, and his face is covered with collagen.
At this time, the youthful spirit in his prime has completely suppressed the salty fish temperament.
After all, this summer vacation, I am doing both music and acting, the album has been released, "Wulin Gaiden" has been confirmed, and the ringtones have also made money.
No matter how mature he is, he should be happy when he should be.
After returning to the classroom, the head teacher came in after a while.
Although I am a senior in high school, my teachers also know that there is no need to push too hard when school just starts.
Let’s talk about the learning tasks for the senior year of high school, which are basically three rounds of review.
This is considered a key high school for them, so a round of review begins in the last two months of the second year of high school.
According to what the teacher said, there will be a round of review in February of next year, and the rest of the time will be spent on answering questions.
Wang Zheng's grades are really good, and he didn't forget to review when he released the album.
After all, the self-discipline that comes with this life has basically become a habit.
The day passed easily. When school was over, Wang Zheng and Sister Mi walked together.
Wang Zheng learned from Sister Mi that her management company had arranged for her to audition for a female lead drama, but it was just a unit drama.
Although Sister Mi didn't tell Wang Zheng what the play was, Wang Zheng guessed it right away. It was produced by Tang Dynasty, "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
This drama "Lao Cai" really brings together many companies, including Huayi, Rong Xinda, and my favorite Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
I probably want to have a good relationship with the people in the Huayi Beijing circle. After all, the Tang Dynasty is still relatively miserable. Fairy Sword is so popular that it only became a star three years after it was first aired.
The premiere was in Wanwan, but in fact she probably couldn't find anyone in the Mainland who was willing to buy the drama.
It doesn't matter, no TV station will be willing to buy it if a brand new actor stars.
I got in touch with Huayi through Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and then co-produced Young Master Yang with Huayi. It was also a step-by-step process.
In Wang Zheng's memory, it is true that since Lao Hu became a star, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have never been used as the first protagonist.
With the help of the Fairy Sword Fire, it was finally established in the mainland.
However, Lao Cai didn't tell Wang Zheng about this, probably because he hasn't determined when it will be launched.
Wang Zheng guessed that with Lao Cai's personality, she would not make a new drama until Fairy Sword was sold.
Sister Mi knew that the drama she was auditioning for was a Tang Dynasty drama, so she deliberately didn't tell Wang Zheng because she wanted to surprise her.
Wang Zheng told Sister Mi something.
"Sister Mi, will your movie "Pink Family" be released today?"
"Yes, it will be released today, but my agent said that the test results of this drama did not seem to be very good, so I should not have high expectations."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. By the way, Sister Mi, let me tell you something. The record I told you about last time is now on the market. Listen to it when you have time. I will get you a copy next time."
"Xiao Zheng, it's true. I thought it was a joke. Don't worry. In order to support you, I decided to support you with dozens of tickets and give one to everyone in the class."
"No, just listen to it yourself. I don't want to be too showy."
"Haha, are you afraid of being said badly by your classmates? It's okay. I'll buy one first when I go back."
They exchanged a few words on the way and then parted ways. Wang Zheng did not go home.
When he arrived at the video store on the side of the road, he just heard the song "Chasing Dreams" played during the music store.
When we got here, the boss, who mainly deals with students, greeted us warmly.
Wang Zheng lowered his head and glanced at the record. It was an ordinary record, and the cover was very characteristic of the times.
He was wearing a school uniform, looking up at the sky, half of his face exposed.
The album cover is also very interesting. The record company discovered a musical talent from an early age, trained him for ten years, and created his own lyrics and music.
The boss also spoke at this time. He didn't expect that it was the original singer who came to watch. Besides, this person was not so popular that everyone knew him.
Wang Zheng directly picked up the record and asked: "Boss, how much does this cost? Is it pirated?"
The question was so straightforward that the boss was not surprised.
"Classmate, it's 16 from the factory, you take it away at 18. If it weren't for anti-piracy, it would have been forty or fifty in previous years.
I just earn a lot of hard money. If I pirate it, I won’t have it. This album doesn’t sell a lot. People just pirate the big-name singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan or China.”
After Wang Zheng understood it, he said a few words and went out. The boss didn't pay attention. He just asked if he didn't want to buy. Isn't it normal?
When Wang Zheng returned home, Xia Tong had come back and was looking at clothes in front of the computer.
When he saw him coming back, he said, "Xiao Zheng, the producer of your record has called you and wants you to reply."
After Wang Zheng heard about it, he called Zhang Lu when he returned home.
After chatting for a while, nothing happened. I just asked him to go to the company to do an interview during his weekend break, which was considered as publicity.
Publicity on the Internet has begun, but the effect is not very great.
Now is the early stage of promotion, and in the middle of the season, we will invite a few music critics to praise it, and then it will be full-scale promotion.
Directly contact the video store and give them some publicity fees so that they can play the album more, especially around schools.
Whether it will be popular by then will be known by the end of this month.
After Wang Zheng finished the phone call, Xia Tong called for dinner.
Wang Tiezhu brought in some dishes, and Wang Zheng went to call his grandparents.
After dinner, the grandparents went for a walk. Xia Tong turned on the TV and talked to Wang Zheng.
"Xiao Zheng, if it doesn't work, buy a mobile phone, otherwise it will be inconvenient."
"Forget it, Mom, it's not convenient to take her to school, and I won't go anywhere else. Let's talk about it after graduation."
"Lao Wang, how is the commission from Sina?"
"We're counting, but we haven't contacted me yet."
"Xiao Zheng, do you know that this month, the number of downloads of the ringtone has exceeded 6 million, and I watch it every day."
Wang Zheng was also quite surprised, but normally, the ringtone era starts this year, reaches its peak tomorrow, and goes downhill the year after next.
